Bijan has 103 carries to Tyler’s 116.
Bijan is 22nd in rushing attempts, and is 41st in redzone rushing attempts (seriously what the actual fuck).
It is absolutely criminal his usage. Even if he was a 7th round pick, with that production, I would expect him to be RB1, but the EIGHTH pick to be used like this is shocking.
I cannot comprehend what Arthur Smith thinks is best for the team, when our 3 best offensive skill positions are basically just used as decoys.
Any Falcons fan could tell you that Kyle Pitts would be 1st team all pro on most teams, the man catches literally anything and is always open, but nah, Jonnu Smith is our guy.
While it is criminal this does ignore the game Bijan was allegedly ill or whatever
He still ran him late in that game to set up the field goal. If his head hurts, he shouldn’t have played at all. That’s the most frustrating part.
That was one game, (and still made it on the field). Last week he had 11 carries to Allgeiers 12, (4.6 YPC vs. 3.2 YPC).
Smith claims he rides the hot hand in the backfield, but absolutely none of the stats back up Allgeiers ever being the “hot hand” over Bijan.
